We're so proud to be working alongside these cities to improve active transportation!
I have to brag for a minute. PeopleForBikes recently released their 2024 City Ratings (https://lnkd.in/gKWMemTu) and highlighted six "Cities on the Rise" 📈 that have made huge strides in the past few years. All six of these cities are places where Toole Design Group has been involved in 🚲 bike planning, and four of them (Ames, Cambridge, Madison, and Austin) are places where I led the development of their Active Transportation Plans and/or Complete Streets Plans in the last 5 years! 🎉 Congrats to all these communities and it's been an honor working with you!

We need your insights! In collaboration with Kittelson & Associates, Inc., we're developing a research-based framework and toolkit to help practitioners select pedestrian crossing treatments for unsignalized locations and midblock locations. Your input will help shape the guidance for safer, more inclusive transportation for years to come. Complete the survey at the link below. 🔽

It's smiles all around with our growing Raleigh team! 😊
A great evening with our growing Toole Design Group team in Raleigh. Exploring newer development created plenty of conversations about mobility, plants 🪴, food, and an amazing slide 🛝. I could not be more excited to work with this team on so many exciting projects.

Much of our transportation system is designed to carry more traffic than it actually does. Why are overbuilt roads a problem? Senior Engineer Mariel Colman, P.E., AICP shares her thoughts on why wide, multi-lane roadways are dangerous, inefficient, inequitable, and unnecessary — and she challenges fellow engineers to stop widening roads under the guise of safety improvement. Read Mariel's take on how engineers can be part of the solution. 👇

Last month, as part of the Ride Island Implementation Plan, Aquidneck Island stakeholders put their wheels to the ground in Cambridge, MA, for some bike network inspiration. From contra-flow and parking-protected bicycle lanes to bike signals at intersections, they experienced firsthand what it's like to bike when separated and protected from cars. Thanks to our friends at Bike Newport for capturing a recap of this fun and informative tour led by Jeffrey Rosenblum, one of the network's original planners. Check it out to see all the infrastructure — and bonus points if you can spot all seven Toole Design staff members! 👇

Every aspect of car ownership is more expensive for Black Americans, according to a research study co-authored by Quinn Molloy, Ph.D. of our Boston team. Some key findings include: 👉 9% more Black households are cost-burdened by car loans than white households. 👉 18% more Black households are cost-burdened by car repairs than white households. 👉 21% more Black households are cost-burdened by gas expenses than white households. 👉 29% more Black households are cost-burdened by car insurance than white households. Public transit was the only area where Black households experienced fewer cost burdens, which highlights the need for diverse transportation options. Reducing our vehicle-dependence is key to promoting transportation equity and building more sustainable communities. Check out a summary of the study in this Streetsblog USA article: https://lnkd.in/gpwWYdET
